Awake with Ramana Maharshi

The State of Self-Realization is not attaining something new, or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you have always been. All that is needed is that you give up your realization of the "NOT TRUE" as true. All of us are regarding as real that which is not real. We have only to give up this practice on our part.
The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that need be said.
--------------------------------------------
Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
When you pray for God's grace you are like some one standing neck-deep in water and yet crying for the water.
The reality which shines fully, without misery, and without a body, not only when the world is known but also when the world is not known is your real form.
--------------------------------------------
There is only one state, that of consciousness or awareness or existence. The three states of waking dream and sleep cannot be real. They simply come and go. The real will always exist.
--------------------------------------------
The ego self (separate self) does not exist at all. The ego self appears and disappears and is transitory whereas the real Self is permanent. Though you are actually the true Self you wrongly identify the real Self with the ego self.
There is no goal to be reached. There is nothing to be attained. You are the Self. You exist always. Nothing more can be predicated of the Self than that it exists.
